    Wikipedia says that hydromorphone (dilaudid) intranasaly is 52–58%. That considered, how strong would 1mg or 8mg of dilaudid be compared to oral oxycodone?

    From Wiki:

    "Some brands of hydromorphone tablets contain small amounts of sulphites. Hydromorphone's oral to intravenous effectiveness ratio is 5:1 and equinalgesia conversion ratio (hydromorphone HCl to anhydrous morphine sulfate, IV, SC, or IM) is 8:1 and is about 4:1 orally. This means that 30 mg of immediate-release morphine by mouth is similar in analgesic effect to 7.5 mg of hydromorphone by mouth, 10 mg of morphine by injection, and 1.5 mg of hydromorphone by injection. These doses also correspond to about 30 mg of hydrocodone, 24 mg of oxycodone, 200 mg of codeine, 135 mg of dihydrocodeine, 20 mg of dihydromorphine, 15 mg of nicomorphine, 12 mg of heroin, 34 mg of piritramide, circa or about 18 mg of ketobemidone, and 8 mg of dextromoramide by the default routes of administration and 60 mg of extended-release morphine via the oral route."

    I believe that this is saying 7.5mg of hydromorphone orally = 24mg oxycodone orally. And when you take the BA into account, that should mean that 7.5mg hydromorphone intranasally is about double that (45mg, maybe).

    When I snorted 8mg of a dilly, it definitely felt like a little under 50mg of oxy... I was quite high. :D

    really? I found when I did 14 mg I was high, but not overly high,
    my tolerance was at 20mg parachuted oxy at the time,
    mind you I did this as 7mg line, wait 30 min, then the other
